I've been noticing some new authenticators on the various AT threads that are behaving rather questionably -- don't get me wrong, I value the work these gals do 100% and I trust their opinions. But it looks like some new people are authenticating and responding rather quickly with assessments that contradict those of more experienced/seasoned authenticators on TPF. If you look around, you will see what I mean. I know authentications are not guaranteed on here and anyone can authenticate, but I value these threads so very much, it just makes me uneasy that some of these assessments may not (IMO) be on point or as reliable as those made by our savvy well-known authenticators -- assessments that are very important for all buyers and sellers who are here on TPF!
I know there's nothing *I* can do about it, but was just venting. I am seeking to authenticate a bag I'm watching on evilBay, but don't want to go in to the AT thread being like "I only want ______ to authenticate this" for fear of getting snapped at (like I've seen happen to others). Grrrrrrrrrrr.
